Review: Sleek true colour lipstick and eau lala liner

I've had this review written down for ages and finally getting around to it! This combination of lipstick and liner is just the best and so cheap!

A few months ago I was looking for a dark red/purple vampy lipstick but was having no luck! Even looked in MAC and just nothing stood out! I've been absolutely loving Taylor Momsen's look for ages and wanted to recreate her fabulous look!

Sleek had been gone for a few months from my local Superdrug and I was so bummed! It's such an amazing makeup line! For some reason I just went into there and there it was! Sleek makeup back in my life! I noticed first the liner, Sleek Eau La La Liner in Raisin but was afraid it would be very drying on my lips, so just picked up Sleek lipstick true colour in Cherry too and just thought about mixing them! Best combination ever! I'm so glad I did it! Doing it this way creates an amazing vampy colour and it lasts so long!

I wore it to a family get together, we had Chinese food and a lot to drink and I only had to reapply the lipstick twice! Result! What's even better is that the liner can also be used on your eyes! They have loads of colours and I would love to stock up on more! I really recommend this combination or even your own using Sleek makeup! It is such an amazing brand, amazing quality for an amazing price!

It cost £4.99 for each product, that's just under £10 for and amazing colour! Can't get any better than that!

Notice anything different on the blog today? That's right! I've updated it a little bit! It's been the same for around 3 years now so felt like it needed a little change! It hasn't changed too much though! 

In the next few weeks I have some reviews to post of products that I am loving! So keep coming back to the blog to check that out or you can follow me on my social networking sites (linked below) to keep up to date!

My favourite spot fighting products!

Ever since I've hit my 20's spots have been a real pain for me! I've always had pretty good skin as a teenager, but lately spots have appeared and dry skin... great! Here are my favourite products to use when I get a break out;

 

Garnier Pure Active Exfo-Brusher Wash

I use this every day, I love the soft brush which really cleans deep and feels very refreshing afterwards. It's also a spot fighter and proves you can see results from day 1 (as most products claim) On its own, it's great, but it does need a little help to reduce those spots!  It's a great product for those who are lazy with ex-foliating your skin as it's all in one! It's a little bit pricey at £7.99 but I have seen products like these be a lot more expensive, I got this one on offer for £4, so just keep your eye out! 

Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Treatment Gel 

 

This is a new product I've tried this month and I love it! I usually use the Simple spot zapper, but I feel you need to use different products on your skin so it doesn't get used to one product.  This claims you can see results within 4 hours! For me, it wasn't 4 hours but I definitely saw an improvement the next morning. It says you can use it on top of makeup or under makeup, I haven't tried this as I don't like to wear makeup when I'm trying to fight off the little buggers! It really helps to reduce the size of  the spots and redness, its a great little product for on the go, small enough to keep in your bag. It retails at £4.59, I feel this is a good price as it does work and you do not need to use a lot!

 

Simple Spotless Skin Quick Fix Cleansing Wipes

This is another new product that I've added to my skincare routine. I felt I needed something better than just a makeup wipe for night time and these are a great alternative. They help fight spots but also remove makeup. 2 in 1. They smell lovely, and no harsh smell or chemicals as Simple always is! a lovely little product to use before bed time, I then apply the gel to wear over night. They retail at £3.85 but a great investment. In the UK Boots usually have a 3 for 2 sale on Simple products a lot of the time, just use your 'smarts' and you can find good bargains! I also like to use the Simple Spotless Skin Cleansing Pads but I don't want to overload my face with too many products! But these are a great deep cleaning pad that actually does show great results in getting rid of spots!
